Weird Summer


Okay, so I'm sure everyone remembers what it's like to get out of school and have the entire summer ahead of them. This is usually a time that is anticipated for months. For the first time in my life, I did not look forward to this summer. I went from dorming at school and being able to live however I wanted, to coming home and feeling like a child once again. In all honesty the only things that make this summer somewhat salvageable are my friends and my job. I really think I could not have gotten any luckier with my summer employment. I had unfortunately lost contact with some of my friends over the past academic year, so playing catch-up is fun.
My compliant with this summer has to do with not being able to see my friends from college because they are mostly from NYC. The hardest thing is having my boyfriend work in California. His time scale is different from mine which makes communication more difficult. It ends up with him calling me after work around 12:30am our time. He's exhausted from his long day and I'm tired from mine. It ends up with both of us being grouchy and turning our anticipated conversation into something disappointing/distressing.

In conclusion, I have exceedingly mixed feelings about this summer. 7 weeks and 3 days until move-in day for the start of my sophomore year. I'm pretty excited about this 4th of July weekend though, I'm heading over to my friends house for fireworks on the 4th and then I'm sleeping over on the 5th in celebration of her birthday.
